A critical analysis of the ways that women’s ways of knowing have been subjugated and marginalized under postmodern capitalism, focusing in particular on the role that psychology and psychiatry have played in the repression of women. Aimed at readers within feminist psychology, critical psychology, spirituality, gender studies and realted areas.

Industrial modernity's worship of rationality had a profound effect on women’s ways of knowing, marginalizing them along with other alternate forms of knowledge such as the imagination and the unconscious. Feminist Spirituality under Capitalism discusses the importance of women’s spiritual knowledge throughout history and under the current socio-economic consensus. Within a critical analysis of the subjugation of certain knowledges, it investigates in particular the role that psychology and psychiatry have played in the repression of women. Aimed at students and researchers in the social sciences, the book will also appeal to anyone interested in critical psychology, politics, activism and social change.

Kathleen Skott-Myhre is an associate professor in the department of psychology at the University of West Georgia. She teaches courses and supervises graduate students in feminist, clinical, postmodern and critical psychology. Her research specializes in the psychology of feminist spirituality.
